Ethereum’s 10th anniversary has ignited unprecedented institutional interest in Ether, with corporate crypto treasury holdings exceeding $100 billion in digital assets and Ether adoption accelerating faster than Bitcoin exhibited during its early treasury phase.
As the undisputed leader in decentralized finance, Ethereum now supports nearly $85 billion in total value locked (TVL) across its ecosystem. Corporate treasury reserves include more than 1.3 million Ether tokens, reflecting growing institutional confidence.
Financial giant Standard Chartered predicts corporate entities could eventually hold up to 10% of Ether’s circulating supply—a scenario projected to drive ETH prices above $4,000. This forecast aligns with robust market activity, as US spot Ether ETFs recorded 19 consecutive days of net inflows totaling $5.3 million.
Mining firms are diversifying their crypto holdings as institutional adoption broadens. Bitcoin miner Phoenix Group exemplifies this trend, having amassed a $150 million cryptocurrency treasury including altcoin allocations.
The sustained institutional inflows and expanding corporate treasury allocations underscore Ether’s maturation as a cornerstone digital asset in blockchain-based finance.
